The outbreak of global health pandemic COVID-19 brought a lot of changes in the lives of mankind and because of this, the country was put under complete lockdown in March 2020. The management of all human and non human resources was a great challenge during this period. A study on assessing management practices during COVID-19 was conducted online from friends and families located in villages, towns, cities and abroad constituting a sample of 107 respondents coping with this situation. The questionnaire regarding the management practices was formulated keeping in view the practices followed indoors, free time utilization and the advisories followed. It was observed that human energy consumption was increased during the lockdown period during fulfillment of family needs, the government advisories were properly followed by the people and people downloaded the AROGYA SETU app, purchased locally available goods and mostly followed the online transactions. The major recommendation is that people should be motivated /encouraged to follow the safety practices about the COVID-19.
